There has been some great research and discoveries on the black men who fought for the Confederacy. North and South magazine ran a great article last year (?) dispelling the many of the myths.
Great men such as HK, Hervey, Winbush, and untold others have traced their proud heritage across the South. We honor those men and the forefathers at the table. For their service we are thankful, their courage is strong.

There has been some great research and discoveries on the black men who fought for the Confederacy. We found a black lady who served as a cook in the Confederate Army and was on the veteran's pension rolls. Her name was Lavinia Thompson from Springfield, SC. We are forming an Order of Confederate Rose chapter and naming it after her.

Yes, indeed.
